[M]M36919[/M] has a 180.968-bit (55-digit) factor: [URL="https://www.mersenne.ca/M36919"]2997347544642661833497896836795494793702018162645139063[/URL] (P-1,B1=2000000000,B2=401927737170960)


That gets me to the top of the [URL="https://www.mersenne.ca/userfactors/pm1/1/bits"]list of P-1 factors for Mersenne numbers[/URL]! And all thanks to the new version 30.8 of mprime.

Nice!

Wow! Congrats!

Congratulations!

This is for M7363 which does not appear in any database I can find. I had intended M4363. Make of it what you will.[/QUOTE]Substantially beyond the limits of the 2- Cunningham table.

Don't let that stop you from trying to find more factors though.

That is indeed a good factor!

Cross-post it in the "([I]Preying for[/I]) World Record P-1" thread :rolleyes:

It was easier for me to type in ((2^7363-1)/223)/4816405503271 than to perform the algebra.[/QUOTE]For an odd prime p, any prime factor q of 2^p - 1 is of the form 2*k*p+1, k integer; in particular, q > p.

This leads to a ludicrous proof of compositeness and factorization:

The fact that 223 divides 2^7363 - 1 though 223 < 7363 proves that 7363 is composite.

Factoring 223 - 1 or 222, we get the prime factors 2, 3, and 37. And 37 divides 7363, the quotient being 199.

Curiously, the factor 4816405503271 divides the "primitive part" (2^7363 - 1)/(2^37 - 1)/(2^199 - 1) of 2^7363 - 1. The cofactor (2^7363 - 1)/(2^37 - 1)/(2^199 - 1)/4816405503271 is composite.

I see that Paul's list still hasn't ben updated. Did the code work correctly?
